My new custom steering wheel

I just installed custom carbon/leather wheel from MAcarbon. I bought it used so I didn't have to wait typical 5~8 weeks of production time. It is very thick and has flat bottom which gives me totally different feeling while I'm driving. I was impressed that such a little change gives a big improvement. Red stitching and top ring add nice accent to the interior. This is a great upgrade!


Here are couple of pics I took today. What do you guys think?

Beautiful.!! Nice! I am also contemplating installing a different type/style of steering wheel to my car. But I am inclined towards a Suede Steering wheel with Terracotta stitching, but I like the spoke pattern of the 2013 997.2 ( with no steering controls) plus with the aluminum look, as Carbon fiber on my interior will not make such a nice combination. ( Mine is Terracotta). I am leaning more towards giving it an aluminum accent look to my interiors.

I bought it from a forum member and I don't have any experience with them. However I heard nothing but good about their customer service.
